There are a number of risks in the international trade associated with differences in the regulatory environment, logistics, geographical distance and the common misunderstanding among business partners. It would not be possible to comprehensively cover all risks because of the scale of the contribution.

The main part of the contribution already contains the interpretation of the achieved results. Based on the analysis and controlled interviews with practitioners, the customs procedure is described and the statistics of goods detained in the customs market both on the national market and on the EU market are processed and compared. The conclusion of the work summarizes the results and outlines possible future development of the Customs Administration of the Czech Republic.

Summary
The presented paper deals with the characteristics and mapping of international trade risks in the area of protection of intellectual property and consumer protection. It is necessary to introduce the basic concepts that will be in the work and will accompany the whole work. These are counterfeits, dangerous foods, intellectual property rights, or international trade risks. We can define counterfeit according to Act No 191/1999 Coll., about measures concerning the import, export, and re-export of goods infringing certain intellectual property rights. A counterfeit is a commodity, including its packaging, in which, without the consent of the owner of the trademark, the mark is identical or interchangeable with the mark registered for goods which thereby infringes the rights of the trademark proprietor. Fake goods are all things bearing the same or similar designation (marks, logos, labels, stickers, brochures, instructions for use, documents on warranty, etc.) [1]
